Fight Breast Cancer With A Healthy Diet
The statistics about breast cancer are scary: An estimated 184,300 women in the United States will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and it will cause 44,300 deaths.
But there are ways that women can reduce their risk, such as eating a healthy, balanced diet.
“Diet and Breast Cancer: How to Beat the Odds” is a pamphlet produced by Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice in conjunction with the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. It discusses the benefits of antioxidants and a low-fat, high-fiber diet and gives six lowcalorie recipes using orange juice in everything from pancakes to pasta.
For a free copy, send a stamped, self-addressed, legal-sized envelope to: Tropicana Pure Premium Diet and Breast Cancer Brochure, P.O. Box 338, Bradenton, FL 34206.

Fume black?
The latest trend on the coffee front, from - where else? - Seattle: “single-estate” coffees, similar to single-malt whiskeys, featuring coffee beans from only one plantation (regular coffees are blended). Seattle’s Best Coffee founder Jim Stewart called one such brew “a merlot … peaty, toasty, smoky and spicy, while maintaining a pleasant hint of dryness.”
